This is more likely your credential mapping between PBI service and gateway configuration connection.
You need to verify this step by step.
1- Configure Gateway connection with your local a/c and test the connection, if this successfull it means we have diagnose correctly.
Data source type = SQL Server
Gateway connection = your enterprise gateway
Authentication method = Windows / Basic / OAuth (depending on your setup)
User name = service account or local a/c

4 Service account password/lock status
